Greetings all,

Kicking off the week with a quick look at a new indie international film, Broadway. Music by Gabriel Yared (The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain, 1408).

Enjoy!

This reminds me: I should look for a copy of Yared’s Troy. I’ve only heard him in drama/romance mode.

I enjoyed Broken Keys a lot more myself ! The love theme was rehashed Yared, didn't stand out for me ! I thought the suspense moments were the highlights for me ! The score overall was a bit too short for me ! It left me wanting more!

*looks up Broken Keys*

.... how did this slip past me?!?? I'll need to check it out ASAP as the quick single track sample on iTunes sounded very promising. Incredibly dark, but promising.

It's a good little score. Not as dark as all that, actually (that sound is confined to 2-3 tracks). Plus at one point you get to hear Beethoven's 9th reimagined as a summery upbeat string piece with Middle Eastern percussive backing, which has novelty value if nothing else

James Southall reviewed it as well: http://www.movie-wave.net/broken-keys/

Well, you officially sold me on that last bit.

I'm sorry, but I don't read the competitions reviews*.

*completely joking, of course.
